Low-impact workouts, strength training, and fitness routines tailored for midlife women seeking strength and confidence.
Products, health claims, trends and ideas. I try them, look at the evidence and work out what’s useful, what isn’t and what probably wasn’t worth the bother.

MORE ABOUT ME →
Nine days at the Mitsis Royal Mare, with family beach days, moussaka, cats and a little midlife indulgence.
A log cabin, Loch Lubnaig, canoeing, cycling, Persian barbecue and an unreasonable number of wasps.
A family stay in Rhodes, looking beyond the glossy photographs to see what a hotel actually feels like with a child.
I’m interested in thoughtful family travel, hotels, destinations and experiences that give readers something worth talking about.
WORK WITH ME →
At 50, I’ve started wondering whether I should give up the gym. Between winter motivation, changing classes, school fees and the cost of membership, there are plenty of reasons to leave. But I’ve also realised I wouldn’t just be leaving a gym. I’d be leaving the people who have become part of my life.
